Until July 26, 2021, United Spirits, Inc. a New York Corporation (“United”) was owned and managed by Mr. Richard DeCicco, the controlling shareholder and president of the Company. United provides distribution services for Iconic, BiVi and Bellissima (see Note 12e). Since the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary, United was considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and consolidated. On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Mr. DeCicco pursuant to which the Company purchased from Mr. DeCicco, and Mr. DeCicco sold, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of United to the Company. Pursuant to the United Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, Mr. DeCicco transferred, and the Company acquired, 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of United in exchange for a purchase price of $1,000,000. The United Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto, and the closing of the transactions contemplated by the United Purchase Agreement was subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, certain approvals from various state liquor authorities. Prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the United Purchase Agreement, the Company marketed and sold its wine and spirts products pursuant to an exclusive marketing and distribution agreement between the Company and United. After the closing, United became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and reduced the noncontrolling interest by $428,465.  The $1,000,000 payment and the $428,465 reduction in noncontrolling interest are presented as a component of equity.
